beneficially owned financial
"Aggregate amount beneficially owned by each reporting person 1,352,490.00"
Beneficially owned describes securities or assets where a person has the economic rights and control—such as the right to receive dividends and to direct voting—even if legal title is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and using a car that’s registered to someone else: you get the benefits and make decisions. Investors care because beneficial ownership reveals who truly controls value and voting power, affecting corporate decisions and takeover dynamics.
dispositive power financial
"Shared Dispositive Power 1,352,490.00"
Dispositive power is the authority to decide the final outcome of an asset, legal claim, contract, or corporate action — in effect the power to dispose of or resolve something. For investors it matters because whoever holds that authority can determine who gets paid, who controls an asset or vote, and how risks and returns are allocated; think of it like holding the key that lets you lock in the winner or loser in a deal.
Schedule 13D regulatory
"amends the statement on filed with the SEC on November 18, 2025"
A Schedule 13D is a legal document that investors file with regulators when they buy a large enough stake in a company to potentially influence its management or decisions. It provides details about the investor’s intention, ownership stake, and plans, helping other investors understand who is gaining control and what their motives might be.
margin accounts financial
"The shares of Common Stock are held by some of the GreenWood Accounts in margin accounts"
A margin account is a brokerage account that lets an investor borrow money from the broker to buy more securities than they could with cash alone, using the securities in the account as security for the loan. Think of it like a mortgage for stock purchases: borrowing increases potential gains but also magnifies losses, can trigger a forced sale if the account falls below required limits, and carries interest costs—factors investors must manage carefully.
working capital financial
"The source of the funds used by the GreenWood Funds to acquire the Common Stock held by the GreenWood Funds is the working capital"
Working capital is the money a business has available to cover its daily expenses, like paying bills and buying supplies. It’s like the cash in your wallet that helps you handle everyday costs; having enough ensures the business can operate smoothly without running into money shortages.
